    Where do old computers go when they have outlived their usefulness? Are they relegated to our garages’ dusty corners? Are they left by the side of the road for others to pick up and scavenge? Are they shipped over to China, India, or Pakistan, where they end up polluting the…

    Esther Dyson, Chairman of Edventure Holdings and tech luminary, paid a visit to the Digital Vision Program on her way to the Churchill Club. The Thursday seminars (which are usually open to the public) are really quite amazing when you look at the people who have come, such as Larry…

    It’s hard to believe that this is the start of the third year for Camera Owners of the Bay Area! I had the idea for the user group back in December 2001, when I was talking with David and Richard H. at Keeble and Shuchat in Palo Alto. A month…

    This year’s MacWorld featured the iPod mini, newer XServes, and updates to iLife. Add it all up and you’re looking at a far smaller MacWorld than in previous years. I will dread the day when the conference fits in either the South or North Hall but not both. I think…
